Dallas (2017-04-20)

As we are not that far from Dallas, about 100 km, we leave after breakfast for a tour in the city. We do the visit of the 6th Floor Museum. The organization of this museum is not so good, the lines to buy tickets and after to wait to get to the 6th floor (tickets have an entry time) are confusing. Once you pass that stage, it gets much better.
L’audioguide nous fait cheminer à travers différentes stations qui expliquent ce qui s’est passé le 22 novembre 1963 lors de l’attentat de John F. Kennedy, mais aussi avant et après. Le climat politique, l’enquête qui a suivi, le tout est survolé. Ils ont même mis des X sur la rue Elm pour indiquer l’emplacement exacte des coups de feu tirés.



This part of downtown is interesting with old buildings and parks. Unlike California, water does not seem to be an issue as many of the big buildings have a fountain in front of it. We had a very good bbq lunch at Pecan Lodge. It is east of downtown on Main, an area that is, like in many cities, cleaning up and being revitalized.
